Our Mission

The mission of Blessed Trinity School is to foster Christian leadership by witnessing the Gospel message and embracing the stewardship way of life. We strive for moral and academic excellence as we reach out to the community as Christ's disciples.

Faith Formation

"Stewardship, Our Way of Life"

The core of our Catholic identity at Blessed Trinity Church and School is Stewardship. As a stewardship community, we show our faith, love and appreciation for God, and the many blessings he has bestowed upon us, by giving back to others. We give to God not only our treasure, but our time and talent as well. By living a stewardship way of life, we are each examples of the presence of God in our daily lives.

Stewardship has been a way of life in our parish for well over 15 years. Students at Blessed Trinity School, as well as members of the Church, are encouraged to put God first in their lives by sharing their time, talent, and treasure to serve God on a daily basis. All members of the parish community are encouraged to give of their time to God through many means. These include, aiding the elderly in the Elder Care Day Care Center, preparing and serving meals in local soup kitchens, and collecting, sorting, and distributing clothing to the needy in the Brother's Keeper Thrift Shop and Furniture Store. In addition, our younger parishioners give their time working with the Parish Youth Group, altar serving, reading at Mass, presenting the gifts at Masses, participating in the singing or bell choir, and going on mission trips to other countries.

We recognize our talents as gifts from God and actively look for ways to use them to serve God. Students have many opportunities to display their talents and put them to good use for the community. During Grandparents' Day, art shows, music classes, our newly formed band, and the yearly school play, students use their talents to entertain and enliven the community. Our students also demonstrate their athletic skills, dedication, diligence, teamwork, and good sportsmanship through extra-curricular activities such as volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, soccer, and flag football. Through Peacemaking Peers, a group that promotes conflict resolution and peaceful relationships in our school, students can further demonstrate their talents, while student leaders in our school are active in Student Council and the National Junior Honor Society.

Lastly, students, staff, and members of the parish are brought together as a community when we share our treasure with those in need. Our fundraisers include school dances, collections in the classroom, candy grams, the fall carnival, and the walk-a-thon. In recent years, monies raised through these means have benefited the homeless and impoverished, victims of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis, and mission parish in Uganda. Students are also asked to make an offering during weekly school Masses. Student offerings include prayers, money or simply a pledge to be more helpful around the house. Through all of these methods and many more, students come to see that stewardship is more than just a donation on Sundays, it is a way of life.

Religious Education

A distinctive quality of Blessed Trinity School is its commitment to the building of a faith community. The faculty and staff understand they have been "called" to the ministry of Catholic schooling. This means they do not only teach academia, but also strive to provide an atmosphere that freely shares faith in Jesus Christ, prayer and service to others. Special time during the year has been set apart to provide opportunities for continuous growth in our Catholic faith. Faculty, staff, students and parents attend the 8:30 a.m. Friday Mass as a total school community. Students in grades K-8 prepare and participate in weekly Liturgy and other special occasions.

Grades 3-8 have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Advent and Lent. Special collections for food, clothing, toys and other necessary household items are collected throughout the year. Thanks to the generosity of our students and their families, those in need are taken care of through the ministry of Brothers' Keeper.

Sacramental Preparation

Preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist will be shared with students in the 2nd grade. Confirmation preparation will be shared with students in the 8th grade. Parents or guardians seize the opportunity to be a part of these wonderful sacraments. Parents can be directly involved by attendance at Fr. Pat's parent meetings, discussion with their child, and support of the Director of Religious Education.
